You may notice more colorful sunsets through the weekend, and the wildfires in Canada are the reason why. The dip in the jet stream will bring smoke from the fires to the Great Lakes region through this weekend. Most of the smoke will stay in the upper parts of the atmostphere, but if you have respitory problems you'll want to keep close attention to air quailty levels. If enough of the smoke mixes down it will lower the air quaility level...it could also reduce visibility while driving. On a more positive note, you'll notice more colorful sunrises and sunsets. With smoke particles in the air it will scattered the sun's ray and produce more vibrant colors. You'll be able to notice this from Chicago all the way out to parts of the east coast.
